All outpatient services and non-COVID emergency services have been suspended at the Government Medical College Hospital (MCH), Kalamassery.
In the wake of the rising COVID-19 cases in the district, the hospital is turning entirely into a 300-bed COVID care facility for critically ill patients. People should approach the Ernakulam General Hospital and the Aluva District Hospital for non-COVID services, according to a statement from Dr. V. Satheeesh, Principal, Government Medical College.
After having functioned exclusively as a COVID hospital for around a year, the MCH had opened up for non-COVID treatments earlier this year. A total of 144 COVID patients were treated at the hospital on Friday.
